Murder on the Homefront

I thought it would get too complicated if I went into how this was based on his secretary's book but I had read his own book. I imagine the same cases will appear in both. My favourite story was the young PC who stopped him one night and wanted him to open the suspicious box he was carrying. Eventually the PC wouldn't take no for an answer and he had to open it. Inside was a severed head he was taking home to work on. PC nearly passed out while Simpson said " I told you not to make me open it"

I liked it! I thought it was based on the memoirs of his assistant / secretary Molly Lefebure. Certainly rang "true" as far as I could tell. Don't get what you mean by "in the style of a comic book" though Florence??

Hello, It was good fun, done in the style of a comic book.

DH commented on the fact that he used a midline incision rather than the usual Y shape commonly used now. He wondered when the Y became established. Googled but couldn't find the answer.

BTW yes I did enjoy the programme.

I've recorded it as it sounded interesting. Haven't watched it yet.

I watched it and found it pretty gruesome but as you say Deedaa the clothes and make-up seemed very true to the period,I loved the dancing scenes in the club scenes but the body bits put me off,I will however now have to watch the second half as the story is quite compelling.
